How Do Reviewers Rate Naruto And Highschool Dxd (Clean) Fanfiction?

My reading habit is a bit geeky — I keep a rotating queue of stories for commute pockets of time — and when I want clean fanfiction for 'Naruto' or 'Highschool DxD' I usually start at Archive of Our Own. AO3 has solid filters: I pick ratings like 'General Audiences' or 'Teen And Up', then add tags like 'no smut', 'gen', or 'fluff' to prune out the more risqué stuff. I tend to sort by kudos or bookmarks to find gems that other readers loved, and I always scan the author's notes and warnings first so I don't get surprised by content shifts mid-chapter. If AO3 feels like too much searching, FanFiction.net is the next place I check. It’s older and simpler, and its moderation tends to keep explicit stories out of certain categories — although you still have to watch tags and author's summaries. Wattpad can be hit-or-miss, but it’s mobile-friendly and has lots of light, slice-of-life takes on 'Highschool DxD' specifically; I once found a cute, clean 'Highschool DxD' roommate AU there that made my train ride fly by. For curated picks I follow a few subreddit threads and Tumblr rec blogs — people collect 'clean' recs for both 'Naruto' and 'Highschool DxD' all the time. And if you want real-time chat and suggestions, small Discord servers focused on those fandoms are surprisingly friendly: drop your preferences, and readers will send links. My biggest tip is to use the site filters plus community rec lists together — it saves a bunch of wading through smut and low-effort stories, and you can build a personal stash of authors who stick to the kind of clean reading you like.

Whenever the idea of writing something clean set in 'Naruto' and 'Highschool DxD' hits me, I treat it like planning a mash-up episode: pick a strong premise and let the characters reveal the scene. Start small — a single, vivid opening: a rain-soaked training field at dusk where a leaf-ninja stumbles on a bizarre, feathered artifact that smells faintly of demon energy. That one image tells tone (serious but strange), stakes (mystery + power), and crossover possibilities without stepping into adult territory. I usually choose third-person limited for these worlds because it lets me mimic canon voices while keeping the narration polished and safe. If you want intimacy, try first-person from an OC who’s a transfer student into the supernatural club — it’s a classic gateway into both universes. Plot-wise, outline three beats: hook, complication, emotional payoff. For 'Naruto', lean into missions, training montages, and bonds — focus on themes like perseverance, found family, and rivalries. For 'Highschool DxD', pivot away from fanservice and emphasize the comedy, school-life mysteries, and supernatural politics. Keep combat descriptions kinetic but PG: describe choreography, chakra or supernatural signatures, and consequences without explicit content. Flesh out character sheets: goals, flaws, favorite phrases, and a small secret they hide. That helps you keep canon voices believable. Practical stuff I swear by: write a 500–800 word opening scene and post it to a beta reader who loves both series, tag your fic with clear content notes ('clean', 'romance', 'friendship', 'action'), and pepper the story with easter eggs for fans — a ramen shop booth, a certain dragon-summoning rumor — without relying on lurid details. I often draft on my phone during commutes and polish at night with a playlist of instrumental tracks; the energy helps. Start with a single, strong scene and let curiosity pull you into the next chapter — that’s how my quiet crossover turned into a small ongoing serial. Try a scene-first approach and see which characters demand a longer arc.

I get excited every time someone asks about tags because tagging well is half the battle for getting readers to your fic. If I were writing a clean crossover between 'Naruto' and 'High School DxD', I’d break the tags into clear buckets: fandoms, ratings/warnings, characters/relationships, and tone/genre. Start with the fandoms: 'Naruto', 'High School DxD'. Then a rating — for truly clean work I usually go with 'General Audiences' or 'Teen And Up' (depending on mild violence or language). Put content warnings early: something like 'non-graphic violence' or 'minor character injury' if relevant, or 'No sexual content / SFW' so readers know this is clean. For characters and pairings, list the key cast individually (for example, 'Naruto Uzumaki', 'Sasuke Uchiha', 'Issei Hyoudou', 'Rias Gremory') and then add relationship tags if shipping: 'Naruto/Sakura', 'Issei/Rias', or 'gen: ensemble cast' if it’s more of a group story. Tone and genre tags are huge discovery tools — I’d use 'crossover', 'slice of life', 'fluff', 'friendship', 'humor', 'action', 'alternate universe' (like 'high school AU' or 'modern AU'), and 'hurt/comfort' if there’s emotional moments. If it’s canon-compliant, tag 'canon-compliant'; if it diverges, use 'canon-divergent' or 'canon-typical'. Practical tip: on sites like AO3, put warnings and ratings first, then fandoms, then relationships, then additional tags. On FanFiction.net you’ll lean more on your summary and the limited category tags (Romance, Adventure, Humor, etc.). Don’t forget meta tags like 'one-shot' or 'multi-chapter', and toss in language and beta-reader notes if needed. A clear, honest tag list gets you the right readers—and fewer disappointed ones—so I always spend extra time on it before posting.

I get that craving for a solid, clean read—especially with franchises like 'Naruto' and 'Highschool DxD' where the fandom output can swing wildly between wholesome fluff and very NSFW territory. My go-to starting points are Archive of Our Own and FanFiction.net because both let you filter by ratings and tags pretty effectively. On AO3 you can filter works by 'rating' (look for 'General Audiences' or 'Teen And Up') and exclude tags like 'Explicit' or 'Major Character Death'—the tag system is granular, so search for terms like 'gen', 'fluff', 'no smut', or explicitly 'no adult content'. FanFiction.net uses simple ratings (K, K+, T, M) so aim for K/K+ or T for cleaner stories; authors often put notes in the first chapter too, so skim those before committing. Beyond those two, Wattpad and Quotev have plenty of lighter, teen-friendly 'Naruto' and 'Highschool DxD' fics—Wattpad has a younger user base so you'll find lots of school-au and fluff. Tumblr and DeviantArt can host stories, but searching there is messier; use tags like '#naruto fanfic' plus 'sfw' or 'clean' to narrow things. Reddit communities and Discord servers for each fandom are great for recommendations—just ask for 'family-friendly' recs. If you want curated lists, look for blog posts or masterlists titled 'clean Naruto fanfic' or 'SFW Highschool DxD recs'—they often link multiple authors and label content clearly. Happy hunting, and don’t forget to leave kudos or reviews for authors who keep things wholesome—kindness goes a long way.

Hunting for clean, popular fanfiction in fandoms like 'Naruto' and 'High School DxD' feels a little like treasure-hunting for me — the people who write the ones that get shared and recced most are usually the dedicated community fixtures. They're often long-term fans who write consistently, polish their stories with beta-readers, and specialize in certain flavors: slice-of-life, fix-it fics, gentle romance, or canon-compliant continuations. On Archive of Our Own (AO3) and FanFiction.Net you'll spot them by the bookmarks/kudos counts, the series with many chapters, and the presence of an active comment section. Those markers usually mean a writer who knows the characters well and keeps readers coming back. Another common source of popular clean works is collaborative groups or fic circles — small teams of writers who cross-post and promote each other. They often maintain curated rec-lists on Tumblr, Reddit threads, or Discord servers dedicated to 'Naruto' or 'High School DxD'; I once found a whole cluster of wholesome, SFW harem-turned-romcom retellings simply by clicking through a rec post. If you want strictly non-explicit content, use AO3 filters like 'General Audiences' or 'Teen And Up Audiences', and on FanFiction.Net filter by the K/K+ ratings. Tags like 'fluff', 'gen', 'family', and 'slice of life' are your friends. A practical tip from my own stalking: follow a few authors whose style you like, then look at who bookmarks them — fandoms cluster. Community-made lists and “best of” threads (r/Naruto, fanfic-focused Tumblrs, and dedicated Discords) point to writers consistently producing clean, popular work. Reach out politely if you want recommendations; most readers and writers love sharing finds, especially if you ask for SFW recs or for versions that focus on character growth rather than explicit scenes.

There’s something wildly fun about trying to stitch 'Naruto' and 'High School DxD' together without breaking either world — I’ve tinkered with this idea on scraps of paper while commuting, and the trickiest but most rewarding part is honoring each universe’s rules. First, pick a canonical anchor: a moment in either 'Naruto' or 'High School DxD' where nothing you do will contradict a major plot beat. Use that as your starting point and declare a single, explicit divergence. For instance, set the crossover during a quiet post-war era in 'Naruto' when villages are rebuilding, or during a classroom arc in 'High School DxD' before major supernatural escalations. Write a short prologue that explains the mechanics of crossing—maybe a seal breaks or a dimensional rift appears tied to chakra/Devil energy. Be explicit about mechanics so readers can see you’re not arbitrarily changing laws. Second, respect character voices and consequences. Naruto characters have clear moral arcs, jutsu limitations, and political landscapes; 'High School DxD' characters operate in a supernatural hierarchy with devils, angels, and sacred gears. Don’t give anyone instant omnipotence: keep cooldowns, chakra costs, sacred gear drawbacks, and social politics intact. If a shinobi tries to punch a devil, show the aftermath: diplomatic fallout with Konoha, the Church’s interest, or a scouting team from the Occult Research Club. Keep the fic clean by avoiding explicit content, focusing instead on character interactions, cultural misunderstandings, and tactical encounters. Finally, cite sources casually—mention episodes, chapters, or databooks when a minor detail matters. Invite beta readers who know each fandom and be willing to trim fan-service moments that clash with canon tone. I find small things—like a character’s favorite food or a village ritual—are the glue that keeps crossovers feeling authentic. If you stay disciplined about rules and consequences, the mash-up can feel like a natural extension of both series, not a rewrite of them.

I get really into shipping discussions, so this is one of my favorite topics to dive into. For 'Naruto', the clean, wholesome fanfiction scene loves Naruto/Hinata (NaruHina) and Sasuke/Sakura (SasuSaku) — those two are staples because they mirror canon pairings and are easy to write as soft, domestic fics or gentle school-AU stories. Beyond those, a lot of readers enjoy Naruto/Sasuke (rivalry-to-romance slash or bro-centric bond fics), Shikamaru/Temari (great for low-key, mature slice-of-life fics), and platonic Team 7 stories focusing on friendship and healing. There are also tons of gen fics that keep things family-friendly: 'team bonding', 'post-war domestic life', and 'parenthood' AUs where everyone is just being soft. I often search tags like 'fluff', 'family', 'slice of life', or 'hurt/comfort' to find clean takes. Switching to 'High School DxD', the most common clean ships center around Issei with Rias (canon) or Issei with Asia and Xenovia in tender, PG-13 romance fics. Rias/Akeno is hugely popular for f/f romance that ranges from romantic tension to married-life fluff. Because the original series is harem-forward, many fans write poly or gentle harem fics that tone down the ecchi elements and focus on romance, loyalty, and everyday life. For clean works, look for tags like 'romance', 'domestic', 'slice of life', and filter to lower ratings. Crossovers also exist — sometimes creators pair Naruto characters gently with DxD settings for cute AU scenarios (college AU, cafe AU), which can be surprisingly comforting. If you want to keep things squeaky-clean, on Archive of Our Own and FanFiction.net use the filters for rating (General/Teen), and include tags like 'fluff' and 'family'. My go-to reads are cozy married-life or quiet post-war healing fics for 'Naruto' and awkward-but-sweet romantic comedies for 'High School DxD' — they scratch the same itch without the explicit bits and often have the warm, character-first focus I love.

My bookshelf is full of weird bookmarks, and honestly that habit led me to the best stash of clean 'Naruto' and 'Highschool DxD' fanfiction out there — so here’s how I dig them up. Start with Archive of Our Own (AO3). I treat AO3 like a library where I can set strict rules: choose language, set rating to 'General' or 'Teen', pick tags like 'Gen', 'Friendship', 'Fluff', and filter for 'complete' if I don’t want cliffhangers. Sorting by kudos or bookmarks usually surfaces quality reads; the author notes often tell you right away if something drifts into smut or heavy angst. FanFiction.net is similar — use its rating filter (K/K+), and read the first few lines to judge tone before committing. Wattpad can be hit-or-miss but there are clean authors with long serials; follow them and check the comment section for content flags. For community recs I lurk and ask in a couple of places: relevant subreddits (like ones focused on 'Naruto' or 'Highschool DxD' and the broader fanfiction communities), Tumblr rec blogs, and Discord reading servers. One time on a late-night train I asked a fic Discord for a 'no smut, only fluff' rec and got three gems — sometimes a quick, specific request yields the best hidden treasures. Also try Google site searches if you want to limit sources: "site:archiveofourown.org 'Highschool DxD' rating:General". Save favorites, follow authors, and keep a little spreadsheet if you binge — that’s how I avoid re-reading the same comfy stories.
